Menu Borked

Wouldn’t let me post in Design/Templates Forum so I threw it here…http://somegreatreward.com
I downloaded this from Stuart’s site and it is running on an untouched copy of Root’s Gemini index.php. I almost killed my site trying to test 1.3 alpha (yes I know that was a really dumb idea) and now it hates me. But if anyone can tell me why the menu is borking, I will love you forever!

I think we need to say that 1.3 itself is changing almost daily. In an effort to get on top of it some template designers are testing both the theme manager in WP and their own templates. A lot of things are being upgraded and changed on the hoof by a lot of folk myself included. It was only a day or two ago we began to use the theme manager. Any way – without early adopters we could nt test so thanks for your input. I have had a look goodsnake but it is not immediately obvious what the problem is. I would reduce #nav and go from there ?

Root, actually I am back on 1.2 on my blog and the downloaded CSS was for a 1.2 template. I figured 1.3 alpha was too dangerous for my main blog after almost losing access to the whole thing, I do have the 1.3 alpha running on a test install. I have reduced the #menu, # nav, etc trying to see what is making the menu bork. I will have to look at it when I get up in the morning, but I appreciate anyone who can take a look and let me know what I am missing. Thanks!

HI there,
what I’ve seen of you css and html i would do what I will tell you
IF:
The sidebar (nav) is a child of any main div (maybe “main”) container for the hole layout.
put in the css rule of
#main {
…
position: relative; <– this you have to put in
…
}
and finally set the hole bar to a unique position. Because the layout is liquid i would say to the damn sidebar.
“Move you ass on the right sight and stay x pixel away from the top”
CSS rule for the div container of the hole sidebar (I guess “nav”)
#nav {
position: absolute;
top: 80px;
right: 5px;
}
top: the pixels from the top of the _parent container_ of the sidebar
right: How many pixel starting from the right you want the sidebar to appear.
that should fix it.
More information about “position: absolute” you find with google

Here is the answer, if you download the Gemini on Root’s site on the Gemini page (I did this yesterday) you have to add a close division right before the menu and then take one out before the clearer. I had done each of those alone but not together until Stuart helped me out. Once you do this any of thebombsite.com’s templates will work, and he has a mighty fine set!
